Highlighting the transformative impact of the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana, he said it had strengthened fisheries infrastructure, doubled production, and boosted exports in the sector.

India has a vast marine resources within its 2.2 million sq km EEZ. Promoting fisheries clusters as a key strategy for boosting the sector was underscored. The government has a commitment to transform Lakshadweep and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands into fisheries hubs.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
